Silicon Labs and Kudelski IoT Partner to Accelerate Matter Device Certification
Rhea-AI Summary
Silicon Labs and Kudelski IoT have partnered to accelerate Matter device certification for IoT manufacturers. The collaboration integrates Kudelski IoT's Matter Device Attestation Certificates (DAC) into Silicon Labs' Custom Part Manufacturing Service (CPMS), enabling Zero Trust security from foundry to customer. This solution streamlines the complex process of obtaining and transferring certificates for Matter-certified devices.
Key benefits include:
- Secure DAC injection at Silicon Labs factories
- Simplified key management
- Reduced manufacturing complexity
- Faster time-to-market for Matter-certified products
- Enhanced protection against counterfeiting and overproduction
The service is available now for Silicon Labs' MG24 wireless SoCs and modules with Secure Vault technology. Manufacturers can place orders through the Silicon Labs CPMS web portal after obtaining Matter certification.

New Custom Part Manufacturing Service (CPMS) and Device Attestation Certificates (DAC) Injection Streamline Security Implementation for Matter-Certified IoT Devices
The Zero Trust approach, with its "never trust, always verify" principle and continuous authentication, is fundamental to Matter, a unifying, IP-based connectivity protocol. Matter mandates unique device authentication certificates using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) for robust security. While this framework significantly enhances IoT device protection, it also introduces new complexities for manufacturers, particularly in securely obtaining and transferring certificates from Certificate Authorities to production facilities.
By combining Silicon Labs' secure, economical, and trusted manufacturing capabilities with Kudelski's certified Matter PKI service, IoT manufacturers can now have Matter DACs securely injected during production, streamlining the path to Matter volume manufacturing.
"The Matter volume production doesn't have to be a complex hurdle," said Rohit Ravichandran, product manager for security and services at Silicon Labs. "Our first-of-its-kind secure provisioning service, along with Kudelski IoT's expertise and PKI services, will enable manufacturers to focus on innovation without compromising on security."
The integrated CPMS and DAC injection service provides several key benefits:
- Secure injection of signed DACs at Silicon Labs-designated factories
- Simplified key management and reduced manufacturing complexity
- Accelerated time-to-market for Matter-certified products
- Enhanced protection against counterfeiting and overproduction
"Kudelski IoT's Matter Product Attestation Certificate Service does the heavy lifting for you, allowing you to join the Matter ecosystem easily," said Chrystophe Clément, principal architect at Kudelski IoT. "We're excited to partner with Silicon Labs to scale Matter adoption and reduce the burdens for manufacturers."
Silicon Labs Matter DAC injection is available now for Silicon Labs' MG24 wireless SoCs and modules with Secure Vault technology. After completing product development and obtaining Matter certification through the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA), manufacturers can easily place orders through the Silicon Labs CPMS web portal. Silicon Labs will then ship sample parts within 4-6 weeks for testing and validation, after which volume orders can be placed.
